Who said he was the reason we are losing? Do you agree though that he has been atrocious on defense tonight?

Not so much so to be garnering this sort of criticism. Our defensive gameplan and team do not fare well against their style and lights out shooting.
 



King should definetly play, but today maybe not he is way too slow for the guys on the court tonight. Even though buggs is playing the three tonight he should be taking over for king. People that dissed buggs d it is better than king and morris d

The snipers I watch in warm ups hit threes at a 50% clip easy.

Indy is hot yes, but we aren't helping the cause. Get a dang hand in their face.

At what point in the game were they shooting only 50%? :mad:

King has been caught sleeping multiple times. That has nothing to do with the gameplan. The last play of the first half was a perfect example.

King and Walker have combined for 0 rebounds tonight.
 


If you aren't quick enough to play man and IU is hitting their shots (not 1 or 2 guys, but all of them), you aren't going to stay with them. We have to many guys that are just poor man defenders.

He's the best 4 on our roster by far, in my opinion. People hate on him all the time then say nothing when he puts up 15 and 8.

I actually don't think he's been awful tonight, but for the record, he's had more than 5 rebounds once in the past 20 games. So not sure where you're coming up with 15/8...

LOL When has he put up 15 and 8 lately.....ridiculous
 




IU offensive rebounds = Minn defensive rebounds
 


Nate Mason going for worst singular performance of the year here tonight.
 

They boo even the most obvious of calls. How could that be anything but a charge?
 


What the hell are their fans booing at?

My bad, hasn't put up those recently, I just guessed. But he's just an under the radar player. No one notices all the good things he does, but just tears him apart when he's having a bad game. I don't think he's even played that bad tonight. We might be down 20+ without his scoring tonight.
 

We could have it at about 9 here if we'd tighten it up...
 



Just turned it over to the NBA all star game for a minute. I will never make that mistake again. No one is even trying. Never used to be that way.

He does do good offensively agree there. I am just really sick of a power forward getting 2 rebounds when he plays 30 minutes a game. Also we have to put him at the 4 spot when that is out of position for him because he is too slow to cover anyone in the 3, hell he is two slow for the 4 too.

I admit I am just frustrated tonight.
 




All things considering, pretty remarkable we're still within striking distance.
 

This teams inability to box out all season has been maddening
